But his second stage work proved a complete fiasco when unveiled at La Scala, Milan, in 1840, and more than half a century was to pass before he attempted a second comedy with his final opera, Falstaff.

- DirectorTiziano ManciniStarsLeo NucciBruno RibeiroRiccardo ZanellatoNabucco was Verdi's third work for the stage and proved his first great success when performed in 1842. It deals with the Hebrew's attempts to break free from the yoke of their Babylonian oppressors and is nowadays numbered among Verdi's most popular works, not least on account of its famous Chorus of Hebrew Slaves, which has one of the best-loved melodies in the whole history of opera.1842

- DirectorMatteo RicchettiStarsMarco BertiCarlo GuelfiGiacomo PrestiaThe première of Ernani at Venices' Teatro La Fenice in 1844 failed to come up to Verdi's expectations, primarily because of the poor health of some of the singers. Both critics and audiences, however, soon warmed to Ernani, especially after the following performances. The opera contains some of Verdi's most successful, impassioned arias (first and foremost Elvira's cavatina and Silva's cantabile) and clearly denoted an evolution in terms of dramatic structure, more cohesive and with lesser use of blocks of closed numbers. Despite a turbulent 'premiere', Ernani became a real international success, beginning with the felicitous Vienna productions of May/June 1844. The cast of this Teatro Regio of Parma production features some of today's best singers for this type of repertoire.1844

- DirectorTiziano ManciniStarsFabio ArmiliatoDaniela DessìLeo NucciNot until 1855 did Verdi have a chance to try his hand at the genre of French grand opera. A setting of a libretto by Eugène Scribe, Les Vêpres siciliennes proved a success in Paris despite the problematical nature of its subject matter, which deals with the Sicilian uprising against occupying French forces in Palermo in 1282. Today, the opera is usually given in the Italian version of 1861 as I Vespri siciliani.1855
